I just finished playing the downloadable ios version on my phone. Was intrigued by the inclusion of Hidden Palace Zone, originally a scraped stage from development included in this version of the game as a secret to find.

I'm actually impressed by the amount of skilled platforming required to reach alternate routes in each stage, something I appreciate about this game now but overlooked when I was younger (as a kid I would just abuse the spin dash, go as fast as possible and miss a lot of stuff).

It's still one of the GOAT level games.

Never doubt.

Lets all agree that Metropolis is the worst level.

Wing Fortress. Challenging platforming without becoming frustrating, pretty difficult boss fight as well.

Also in my run I collected all chaos emeralds (I played as Sonic alone without Tails, the bonus stages are much easier that way because they require fewer rings and Tails won'y get hit and lose all your rings), one thing I love about this version of the game is that you don't automatically go Super Sonic when you collect enough rings, you have to double-press the jump button to activate it, so I deliberately tried to fight most bosses without going super

I actually like it, as you practice you learn how to dodge the shooting star spikes and it becomes fun. It's just that 3 acts is too much (one thing that was always bit off-putting for me when it came to Sonic 1). I know that Metropolis 3 was originally supposed to be Genocide City Zone or something like that.

I would say the same, except that I have played Sonic 3 & Knuckles, therefore I am aware of what the actual best Sonic game is

Some of the Sonic 3 stages are a bit too long and drawn out for my taste. Sonic and Knuckles by itself is superb, but a shortened half game doesn't completely satisfy me.

Most of Sonic 2 is good.

Metropolis had those annoying praying mantis and crab enemies that were placed in intentional spots that were unavoidable. Bad game design there.

I haven't played it but I've watched it. I liked the boss.

I guess for Sonic 2 it's ok, but in S3&K and Mania, it's pretty annoying since you actually have abilities in the air.

Mania and Sonic 3 Complete made it a separate button to go super.

Mystic Cave Zone is my favorite Sonic music

I agree but I think most people would go with this jam
